We have all dreamed or pondered what these two worlds would look like if they intertwined. It would probably look like the run Marvel and DC did in the late nineties. In this super event DC and Marvel characters were pitted against each other in a bizarre plot that involved the universe melting. Readers were asked to vote who could beat who. In a surprise held by no one, most Marvel characters were victorious in this battle. Captain America beat Batman, Storm beat Wonder Woman, Spiderman beat Super Boy, Wolverine beat Lobo, Elektra beat Cat Woman, Thor beat Captain Marvel and Silver Surfer beat Green Lantern. Who won for DC? Robin beat Jubilee (stunning upset), Superman beat Hulk, Aquaman beat Namor and Flash beat Quicksilver. Not really the respect and perspective that the 80 year old company deserves. You can't blame the fans, Marvel has the wider and more marketable franchise. But the question is, who could DC beat? Using a fair assessment of facts that uses no math formulas, these characters would be able to best their closest Marvel partners. This is all based on my arguing skills so if you disagree make your own blog.
Martian Manhunter could beat Sentry
Why: Jonn Jonz is a well disciplined telekinetic shapeshifter with alpha level powers. The only reason they make him weaker than Superman because...it is freakin Superman. Sentry is often compared to Superman with tons of mental illness.
How it would end: After a huge fist fight Martian Manhunter would get in his head and take him down. He might cure the schizophrenia in the process.
Batman would destroy Iron Man
Why: This is going to get me in trouble...Batman may not be the engineer that Iron Man is, but his sheer strive for all offensive perfection and wisdom coupled with what engineering he has dwarfs the mega cannons of the Iron Man
How it will end: Stark would overwhelm Bruce with tons of missiles and robots, but Batman would pull out some trap or mirage that would make Iron Man's defenses go down. You know that Batman would somehow get Stark out of his suit.
Wonder Woman could best Ms. Marvel Why: Military experience and royal confidence. Ms. Marvel has heavy military training, but she did not grow up on an island devoted to warfare. She is also not the princess of the warfare program known as the Amazons. It also helps that Diana knows a few gods.
How it would end: Marvel would give Diana quite the beating and even try to absorb her power, but I truly believe that Wonder Woman would go savage on her andwin in the end. You can't mess with the lady who tangled with Ares, Zeus and Medusa.
Nightwing could swamp Spiderman Who: It is all about confidence and discipline which is purely on Nightwing's side. Spiderman is a skilled acrobat with powerful attacks, but he lacks the drive to beat someone as battle trained as Nightwing. You have to imagine that Nightwing has been trained in forensics, how to take pain, pressure points and all sorts of martial arts. Meanwhile, Spiderman has been very upfront about how unprepared he is for each fight.
How it would end: Once the webbing run out and Nightwing dislocates Spiderman's leg it is all over.
Deathstroke could kill Deadpool
Why: Deadpool is a skilled assassin, but his lack of focus and his hatred to pay attention would be too little and too late for the sword wielding Slade. I know Deadpool is a parody of Deathstroke, but you have to give favor to the seasoned veteran.
How it would end: "Oh look, tacos." Deadpool's last words.
Mogo could tame Galactus
Why: This one is tough, but I think Mogo has the advantage. He is the moral compass of the galaxy and the strongest Lantern on the force. He has the backing of the entire DC universe. Galactus is the highest power in Marvel lore containing weapons that could destroy galaxies. It would be close, but if Mogo got the support of the lantern energy, the support of the universal powers and he was equal size with Galactus it would be in his favor. Galactus is a planet eater, but he has never met a planet that could fire pure green energy in weaponized form.
How it would end: The battle would shatter the universe, but Mogo would be slightly more alive than Galactus.
Black Adam could disable Dr. Doom
Why: Two sovereign powers with major powers and influence battling it out. But according to lore, Adam can take on the world. In World War 3 he killed countless B listers in his rampage. The only team that has ever beaten him was the Justice Society and they needed the most powerful Green Lantern to do it with the god of lightning. Dr. Doom is sadistic and very powerful. His cybernetic skills are not weak in any way. But we can't forget that Doom has been the subject of humiliation to Squirrel Girl and Dazzler. Not to mention that Doom has been the punching bag for The Thing.
How it would end: Lots of lightning from Black Adam and the super strength of gods ripping through the metal man. Doom would use his merciless machinery to inflict some pain on Adam, but I think he can handle it.
Teen Titans could mop the floor with Young Avengers
Why: You have the Avengers Academy, which trains the Young Avengers of the future versus the excessive boot camp of Red Robin. The storyline of The Avengers Academy is never flattering or impressive. Basically, you have a drama filled center with over powered teens who let their hormones govern what they should do. Some of the Academy members have switched over to the side of evil. Now add that to the fact that the faculty of the Avengers Academy is always disagreeing and arguing over why they should train them and often get into fights. On the other hand, you have Batman's closest buddy training a close niche group demigods, magicians, aliens and cyborgs. You know that Robin is teaching them everything Batman had taught him. You have the young adults, Cyborg and Starfire, as mentors to the group as well. On a fight level, the Teen Titans have been notorious for fighting A list villains and even responsible from saving the world from destruction. They have exchanged blows with Super Boy Prime and have taken down Deathstroke. The Avengers of the Academy and the Young Avengers are pretty impressive, but they have been known to mess up royally on an A list villain. They seem to get the crumbs that Captain America drops.
How it would end: Robin's battlefield strategy coupled with Raven and Cyborg could easily take down Patriot, Wiccan and Hulk Jr. The Vision and Stature would be the only one who could hold his own, but Megan, Kid Devil and Wonder Girl could take him out eventually.
